Sen. Grassley Calls Anti-Gunners on 70% Gun Trace Myth

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley has written a letter to BATFE Acting Director Kenneth Melson concerning a misleading report released by BATFE and anti-gun Senators Feinstein, Schumer and Whitehouse claiming that 70% of firearms recovered in Mexico came from the U.S. Grassley explains to Edwards that the report grossly misrepresents the facts since only a small percentage of the guns recovered were traced, that most of those traced back to the U.S. only originated here but were not sold from private dealers and that Operation Fast and Furious, the BATFE scandal, accounts for more than 2,000 of the guns traced.
